I’m grateful to God, thank you for guiding me through this day and helping me refrain from my addictions. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful to hear an acronym that I had forgetten, SOBER, stands for, son of a bitch everything’s real. I’m grateful I went to church last week, by myself, for myself, for the first time in my life and I will go again in the morning. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for H.A.L.T. I’m grateful for boundaries and the courage to enforce them. I’m grateful i can borrow some wisdom from people on here, from all over the world, so cool, and say, as @anon74766472 says I am grateful I have enough.
God bless us all. &
Morning gratitude,
Grateful for the past 2 nights I have slept well.
Grateful I feel like I earnt it by doing a fitness class and swim.
Grateful my muscles ache - feels like actually working them, grateful to go again today.
Grateful for all the cuddles and love from furry babies all night, and now still.
Grateful for breakfast and then odd cup of coffee.
Grateful for it being Sunday.
Grateful I am prepared for busy week ahead and have everything ready.
This I adopt and add it to my check-box aka list of things to remember when I’m craving or questioning why I like to be sober. Thank you @Bootz
Some morning gratitude. I’m grateful for no nightmares, only strange dreams. I’m grateful the dreams didn’t cause any lasting feelings, I don’t feel exhausted or scared. Only a bit foggy and dizzy because I woke up several times and don’t feel really well rested. I’m grateful this will pass with a nice shower.
I’m grateful I took time this morning to work on my checklist again. I’m grateful for all the inspiration and shares here on TS what we don’t miss in sobriety and how we stay sober. And I’m grateful I finally have the energy and impetus to work on my personal list. I’m grateful this is a sign that my life evolves and I go my way, babystep by babystep
I’m grateful I skipped garden work yesterday, it was sunny but very stormy. Today it’s better, I will do it today. Living life at my pace This is so important for me because I still struggle with the nagging voice of the ex in my head telling me I’m lazy and being disappointed by my way and tempo of doing things. Let go and let God
I’m happy to be invited for lunch today, I’ll bring ice cream for desert. I’m grateful for friends and for sharing good times and bad times
Morning,
I’m grateful my partner slept in a different bed last night so he didn’t disturb me, I feel good again this morning.
I’m grateful for not waking up with the lark and slept til 8.30am, that’s practically midday for me.
Grateful I don’t need to run around today.
Grateful my son’s gone to work, he’s so messy, it drives me crazy.
I’m grateful for another sober day
Thank you @Soberbilly - your thoughts mean so much and you are suuch an amazing support on this forum. I’m grateful to see a pic of your kitty cat - kitties always bring a smile to my face.
Speaking of, I am grateful my kitty made his presence known during my online meeting last night as all of my fur-babies are part of my recovery. They deserve love and nurture from a sober companion.
I am grateful for my walk with my dear friend yesterday - we are experiencing very similar matters, fears, and tough choices when it comes to our moms and can support each other. I am grateful my Mom seemed better at our dinner with my son amd grateful he is having an active and engaging weekend.
I am grateful for Billie Holiday on vinyl, Sunday papers and great coffee on this rainy Sunday morning, following a night of sleep that my Fitbit feels I should be proud of.
I’m always grateful for you all and your shares - wishing you a peaceful day.
I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday, help me relinquish control to you and abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for a good sleep. I’m grateful I have choices for breakfast and warm water to shower in. I’m grateful for the peaceful music playing on my t.v.
I’m grateful for the reminder that this disesase of addiction is trying to kill me and wonder how I can forget that sometimes, with all the damage it has done to me and the people its taken. I’m grateful there is a solution and its simple but not easy. I’m grateful for the twelve steps. I’m grateful for the 28 year celebration I attended Friday night at NA. Im grateful I am getting off the couch now to get ready for church and that I even have a couch of my own as well as a nice apartment with all I need.
God bless us all. &
p.s. Don’t forget to smile and breathe, it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!
I’m grateful for another day sober. I started reading Quit Like A Woman. I realize I need to make sure I’m not getting complacent with my sobriety. I’ve had so few thoughts about drinking but I know it won’t always be so easy.
I’m grateful for getting some sleep last night. It’s still somewhat broken and restless, but not as bad as sometimes.
I’m grateful I got the oil changed in my car yesterday and it didn’t need anything else done. I’m grateful for a reliable car that has been paid off in full.
I’m grateful for quiet, restful weekends. I’m grateful I don’t mind the rain today because I don’t have to go out at all. Currently on the couch under a cozy blanket and a cat.
I’m trying to be grateful for the time change and more sun in the evening, but honestly I’d prefer more daylight in the morning. But I am grateful that this time shift doesn’t have my cats up an hour early.
I’m grateful
I’m grateful I get to turn my will and my life over to the Care of God. All is well.
I’m grateful for the time I get to have with my wife when she is sober.
I’m grateful I enjoyed our movie last night by myself.
I’m grateful it didn’t bother me.
I’m grateful I noticed it bothers me this morning. And grateful I can meditate. Do devotionals, and give it to God this morning. And be grateful for so much more.
I’m grateful I can fake it until I make it.
I’m grateful the sun is up bright on the east side of the house and it’s a dark gray sky looking out the west side windows.
I’m grateful for all the puttering around and getting little things done yesterday.
I’m grateful I can sense my tension in the room and if I just treat the day like a normal day with someone who has a disease I can be ok.
I’m grateful for the courage I have each day to face my fears. And continue to do it soberly.
I’m grateful I will not drink.
I’m grateful it’s not even in the equation.
I’m grateful we are Oscar ready.
I’m grateful I probably won’t fall asleep during it.
I’m grateful for all my pet therapy.
I’m grateful for gratitude and you gratidudes.
I am still determined to be cheerful and to be happy in whatever situation I may be, for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or our misery depends on our dispositions and not upon our circumstances.

Today I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful I only have 1 errand I need to do, the rest is whatever I want to do.
I’m grateful I can drive anywhere to pick up food or whatever and never have to plan it before I start to drink.
I love lists, I’m always writing them, if you write a chore list, make sure you’re also writing a fun list, take time to do whatever makes you happy.
I’m grateful for Buddy, currently velcroed to my leg. He doesn’t bark, he looks. Looks at the front door if he has to pee (front door/me, front door/me), you get the picture. Looks at top of fridge if he wants a treat (that’s where they’re located), and up the stairs if he wants to go to bed. He has been such a joy in my life.
For anyone new here, NEVER give up on yourself! You’re special, there’s no one in the world like you!! Anyone who knows me, knows, I’ve F’d up, knows I’ve reset a bunch, but the difference with me, I refuse to beat myself up over it, every single day you’re sober IS a win, and a slip can’t take that away! I’m a work in progress.
I’m adding on: I’m grateful I pushed my 1 errand today until tomorrow, back in my flannel PJ’s.
Grateful I started to read Meme Wars again, if you get a ‘heart’ from something you wrote months ago, it’s probably me. I heart the ones that either make me laugh out loud, OR most likely has a dog or cat in it.
I’m especially grateful that Riley weighed in at 5lbs 2oz today!! She’s 13, takes meds for Hyperthyroidism, eats A Lot but struggles to gain weight, 1st time she broke the 5lbs in months!!
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I can get my thoughts out here on TS and there are people who understand.
I am grateful to be tired.
I am grateful the temperature is rising.
I am grateful I don’t drink anymore.
I am grateful I can walk, I don’t need a car in my everyday life. Sometimes I miss having a car but not too often tbh.
It caused a lot of stress.
I am grateful I started with the tax declaration which I should forward to the FRO thread.
I am grateful I saw a wonderful and interesting movie today about birds. I am very interested in birds but this was so interesting.
I am grateful I have food in my fridge.
I am grateful that even if it feels like I am stuck atm, paralyzed in some way, maybe depressed or idk what, never crosses it my mind to go and grab a bottle of wine.
I am grateful I have enough.
Woke up very tired even though I didn’t drink last night and I slept great - grateful I didn’t drink last night and am walking this beautiful earth another day.
Didn’t know the clocks had changed. My old fashioned clock said it was 5:45 am, so it was a rude awakening to realize it was 6:45 lol. Grateful for coffee and a nice quiet dog walk to clear the cobwebs.
Spoke in my morning meeting about my upcoming road trip and how I was preparing. Innocuous enough right? Yeesh, I started calmly but then felt an escalating panic, apparently I have underlying emotions on the topic that aren’t conscious. I don’t know if anyone else noticed but I was really embarrassed, which made my perfectionist/shame monster come alive which is a major trigger for my drinking. All I wanted to do was raise my hand again and speak calmly so no one would think I’m crazy, but I was forced to sit with it as lots of people wanted to share. Grateful that instead of running from these feelings by consuming booze, I stayed with the discomfort (still feeling it as I write). I signed up for an afternoon informal get together - nobody else showed but it’s a win in my book that I wanted to protect my sobriety and took healthy steps to do so.
I’m grateful for a sunny day before another nor’easter slams us, fingers crossed it’ll fizzle out.
Grateful for smoothies. My stomach is in knots still from my meeting debacle so at least I got some nutritious food down the hatch.
Hi! I do the same thing, dwell on anything I think I did wrong, embarrassing etc. And what I’ve learned, it’s never as bad as you think it was. Keep your thoughts on the highlights of your day, even if anyone noticed anything, they’ve long forgotten it. You should too
Evening gratitude. I’m grateful I did some chores and garden work. The lunch at my friend was so yummi, we chatted half afternoon with tea/coffee and icecream. I’m grateful for it.
I’m grateful I relaxed with interesting documentaries and my currently reading 3 books on the couch. And of course cats.
I’m grateful a scheduled call didn’t take place in the evening. I felt somehow nervous in general and this in combination with a longer call is very triggering. Short calls are fine. Today I appreciated no call. I made light dinner instead and will be in bed soon. I’m grateful it was a fine day with heartfelt smiles, laughter, gratitude, and I was able to shoo intrusive, dark, worrisome thoughts. Not on sundays anymore, they have to wait until it’s their turn on monday. Let’s see what nightmares my fucking brain produces from this boundary today …
